Charlie Mariano Randy Brecker Charlie Mariano Randy Brecker/Italy 1989 Broadcast Edition

After making his name with the Stan Kenton Orchestra and marrying Toshiko Akiyoshi, Charlie Mariano settled in Europe. This album features a live performance in Reggio Emilia, Italy, from a short, limited-edition tour in 1989 with a star-studded lineup. This special project features Randy Brecker, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, Peter Erskine, and special guest Jackie Byard. The opening track, the title track of an album released on Mood Records, is a must-have for fans of Bethlehem. While Mariano was leaning toward free-form sounds at the time, the performance on this album is characterized by its straight-ahead jazz style.
